Biden is busy doing the people's business

June 5, 2024

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, President Biden has been busy doing the people’s business. On Tuesday, he signed an executive order that suspends the asylum process when “encounters” with immigrants illegally crossing the border surpasses 2500 per day. Biden’s effort was born of frustration. Congress was within days of passing a bipartisan immigration and border security bill in May when Convicted Felon Trump ordered the GOP to kill the bill to preserve immigration as an issue in the 2024 election.

In issuing the order, Biden relied on the same theory of executive power that Trump invoked when he sought to ban travel from majority-Muslim nations. The ACLU plans to sue the Biden administration to overturn the executive order.

The details of the order are here: FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces New Actions to Secure the Border | The White House. For a description of how the plan will work in. practice, see How Biden's new order to halt asylum at the US border is supposed to work | AP News.

As expected, the proposal did not satisfy everyone in the Democratic Party. See WaPo, Democrats divided over Biden’s immigration executive order. (Accessible to everyone.)

Biden issued a statement with the executive order, saying, in part,

I would have preferred to address our issues at the border through bipartisan legislation because that’s the only way to actually fix our broken system – But Republicans in Congress have left me no choice. So today, I’m announcing actions that bar migrants who cross our southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum – unless they seek it after entering through established lawful processes.

Biden also listed recent actions to address immigration and border security:

Strengthening the asylum screening process

New docket to address cases and make asylum decisions within 6 months versus 6 years

Revoking visas of CEOs and government officials who profit from the exploitation of vulnerable migrants

Expanding efforts to dismantle human smuggling and support immigration prosecutions

Enhancing immigration enforcement

Seizing fentanyl at our border

As President Biden is trying to solve the challenges at our southern border, he is also actively pressuring both Israel and Hamas to reach a complete cease fire that results in the release of all hostages. See ABC News, Biden takes a big swing at hostage-for-truce deal, puts onus on Israeli, Hamas officials to step up.

As noted in the ABC article, President Biden’s strategy is an aggressive approach to an intractable problem. Per ABC,

White House officials on Monday said Biden's decision to make public what it describes as an Israeli proposal — just one day after it was delivered to Hamas — was driven by a desire to put Hamas on the spot. The move diverged from the U.S. administration's position throughout the conflict to allow the Israelis to speak for themselves about hostage negotiations. [¶] “This wasn't about jamming the prime minister, the war cabinet,” [National Security Advisor Spokesperson John] Kirby said. “This was about laying bare for the public to see how well and how faithfully and how assertively the Israelis came up with a new proposal. It shows how much they really want to get this done."

Finally, Biden sat down with Time Magazine’s Washington Bureau Chief (on 5/28) for an on-the-record, full-transcript interview. See Time Magazine, President Biden on World Leadership, War, and 2024 Election. Overall, the tone of the interview is begrudgingly respectful toward President Biden. But as with most political discussions today, it normalizes Convicted Felon Trump by discussing his policy positions as if they are not the product of a criminal who attempted a coup and incited an insurrection.

Per the Time interview,

Biden’s record in facing these tests is more than just nostalgic talk. He has added two powerful European militaries to NATO, and will soon announce the doubling of the number of countries in the Atlantic alliance that are paying more than the target 2% of their GDP toward defense, the White House says. His Administration has worked to prevent the war in Gaza from igniting a broader regional conflict. He brokered the first trilateral summit with long-distrustful regional partners South Korea and Japan, and coaxed the Philippines to move away from Beijing’s orbit and accept four new U.S. military bases. He has rallied European and Asian countries to curtail China’s economic sway. “We have put together the strongest alliance in the history of the world,” Biden says, so that “we are able to move in a way that recognizes how much the world has changed and still lead.”

While the Time interviewer noted Biden’s “stiff gait” and “fitful syntax” (a product of his lifelong stutter), the sweep of the interview, Biden’s command of the facts, and the breadth of his career clearly impressed the author.  Read the article—all of it. You will be impressed (again) by the remarkable career and accomplishments of Joe Biden.

The shameful Vietnam War policy that recruited low-IQ men to die for their country

Louis H. Pumphrey (Opinion)

Published: May. 26, 2019, 5:28 a.m.

SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio -- As we approach Memorial Day honoring our war dead, take a few minutes to reflect on our government’s most sordid, disgraceful, unconscionable, ignoble and shameful policy during the Vietnam War: The Johnson administration’s “Project 100,000” program instituted in October 1966, which involved the drafting of low-IQ men as the war escalated. Of the 58,220 of our military who died in Vietnam, 5,478 mentally deficient servicemen were killed, most in combat.

The latter statistic was provided in the Fall 2017 edition of The Veteran, a publication of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, in a story written by Hamilton Gregory, author of “McNamara’s Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War.”

Gregory enlisted in the U.S. Army after graduation from college. While at an armed forces induction center in Nashville, Tennessee, a sergeant ordered him to “take charge” of Johnny Gupton (not his real name). The sergeant instructed Gregory to “go with him every step of the way” during their basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia.

The sergeant said Gupton could not read or write and would require assistance in completing documents at Fort Benning. Then the sergeant said, “Make sure he doesn’t get lost. He’s one of McNamara’s morons.”

Gupton was among men with low IQs drafted in a program that resulted in the addition of 354,000 low-IQ men into the armed forces, with 71 percent sent into the U.S. Army; the Navy and Marines each getting 10 percent; and 9 percent going into the Air Force, according to Gregory.

The reason, as you might imagine, was that President Lyndon B. Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara were “desperate for warm bodies,” wrote Gregory. Earlier, the draftees had failed the mental acuity test administered by the military and therefore had been out of reach of the draft, but the Johnson administration changed that policy.

The program also encompassed not only those with below-normal IQs, but also men with other mental or physical disabilities. There was a higher number of volunteer recruits in the program compared to the number of draftees, according to a RAND Corp. study of the strategy. Further, the endeavor, in addition to being applied to those who had failed mental acuity tests, also included men who had been unable to meet other eligibility criteria.

Gregory reported that, when he was on his way to Fort Benning with Gupton, he asked his charge what state he was from and Gupton said he did not know. Gupton, Gregory wrote, was unaware the United States was at war, had no understanding of basic training, did not know his left from his right and had to be taught how to tie his boots.

Gupton survived his tour in Vietnam because a sergeant took him under his wing, putting him in noncombat jobs. (The sergeant grew up with a sister who he said was “mentally handicapped,” and was sympathetic to Gupton’s condition.)

One of the low-IQ fatalities, Gregory noted, was a nephew of combat veteran Barry Romo. The nephew, Robert, was in Vietnam for part of the time Romo served as a platoon leader. Romo was very worried about his kin, who he said was “like a brother,” because the new draftee was to be trained as an infantryman at Fort Lewis, Washington.

Gregory reported that a contingent of the nephew’s family, along with Fort Lewis recruits, officers and sergeants, wrote to the military base’s commanding general pleading that the recruit be spared combat duty because, as one relative wrote, “he would die.”

The general refused to budge.

Romo’s nephew was sent to Vietnam and was in combat close to the border between South and North Vietnam -- an especially dangerous area. While on a patrol and attempting to aid a wounded soldier, Robert was shot in the neck. Intense gunfire prevented a medic from treating Robert and he “drowned in his own blood,” said Romo.

The army gave Romo permission to accompany the sealed aluminum casket with Robert’s remains to Rialto, California, for his funeral. Romo said in a speech several years later that his nephew’s family never recovered from his death, which “almost destroyed us with anger and sorrow.”

Gregory concluded his story in The Veteran with a quote from Joseph Galloway, a war correspondent: “The Good Book says we must forgive those who trespass against us -- but what about those who trespass against the most helpless among us: those willing to conscript the mentally handicapped, the most innocent, and turn them into cannon fodder?”

Drafted in 1966, Louis H. Pumphrey was a reporter, then editor, for the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division newspaper in Vietnam from July 1967 to July 1968. He is a member of Chapter 39 of Veterans for Peace, based at a Cleveland Heights church.

Are These the Best Shopify Development Companies on the Planet? See the Proof.

In today's quick-paced e-commerce scene, choosing the best Shopify development team can make or break your online store. With so many Shopify experts out there, how can you tell the top-notch ones from the decent—or even the sketchy ones?

In this article, we’ve done the legwork for you.

We went deep—reviewing portfolios, speaking with business owners, analyzing public feedback, and even evaluating backend Shopify site performance. What did we find? A small group of standout companies that not only offer top Shopify website development services but also consistently deliver measurable results.

Let’s explore the proof—and the profiles—of what might just be the best Shopify development companies on the planet.

What Sets the Best Shopify Development Companies Apart?

Before we get into specific names, we should answer a key question: How do we define "best" in this situation?

It’s not just about slick designs or high-profile clients. The top Shopify developers consistently deliver in five critical areas:

Performance Optimization—Fast-loading, mobile-friendly, SEO-optimized Shopify stores.

Conversion-Centered Design—Websites built to not just look good but convert visitors into buyers.

Customization Capability—Not just cookie-cutter themes, but tailored solutions that reflect brand identity.

End-to-End Services—From design to custom app development, integration, and long-term support.

Proven ROI—Tangible business impact: more sales, higher AOV (average order value), reduced bounce rates.

So, which companies are actually doing this?

1. Tako Agency—Shopify Experts Who Think Like Business Owners

Headquarters: Dallas, TX Founded: 2017 Client Example: The Clear Cut, &Collar, Elevé Cosmetics

Tako Agency isn’t just a Shopify development shop—they’re strategic partners. What sets them apart is their hybrid approach: half brand strategists, half technical wizards.

Why They Stand Out:

Data-Driven UX: They constantly A/B test layouts and product pages to boost conversion rates.

Content & CRO Specialists: Few agencies combine Shopify website development services with storytelling, copywriting, and conversion strategy like Tako does.

Clear Client Wins: For &Collar, they redesigned the PDP (Product Detail Page), leading to a 28% increase in conversions within 60 days.

“They don’t just take instructions—they push back, ask tough questions, and get us results.” — Client testimonial from Elevé Cosmetics CEO

2. We Make Websites—Design-Forward Shopify Plus Partners

Headquarters: London & New York Founded: 2009 Client Example: Hasbro, Pangaia, Bombas

If aesthetics matter to your brand, We Make Websites should be on your radar. As a Shopify Plus partner, they handle large-scale migrations, headless builds, and fully custom storefronts.

Why They Stand Out:

Global eCommerce Experience: They specialize in high-volume brands with international reach.

Performance Obsessed: Average mobile site speed scores of 90+ on Lighthouse.

Enterprise-Ready Builds: They architect scalable, API-integrated Shopify solutions that go beyond off-the-shelf themes.

Proof Point: Pangaia saw a 47% lift in mobile revenue post-launch after switching to a headless Shopify setup built by WMW.

3. Pointer Creative—Boutique Shopify Design & Dev with Heart

Headquarters: Toronto, Canada Founded: 2010 Client Example: Blume, Knix, Poppy Barley

Pointer Creative is smaller than the others on this list, but their work punches above their weight. They blend Shopify development with strong brand storytelling—making them ideal for lifestyle and DTC brands.

Why They Stand Out:

Design-Led Builds: Every site feels like an editorial experience.

Custom Theme Development: They don’t rely on templates.

Ongoing Support Plans: Post-launch care is where Pointer shines—they act like an extension of your team.

Client Result: Poppy Barley credited Pointer’s rebuild with a 34% increase in time-on-site and lower cart abandonment.

4. Arctic Grey—High-Converting Shopify Plus Stores for Ambitious Brands

Headquarters: New York, NY Founded: 2015 Client Example: MVMT Watches, Levi’s, Peepers

Arctic Grey focuses heavily on conversion rate optimization through Shopify. They use heatmaps, scroll tracking, and real-time analytics to shape their dev strategy.

Why They Stand Out:

CRO + UX at Core: They redesign PDPs, navigation, and checkout flows based on real user data.

App Development Muscle: Need a custom loyalty app or quiz funnel? They build proprietary tools.

Lightning Turnaround: Known for fast project timelines without compromising quality.

Tip: If you’re aiming for Shopify Plus and want revenue-focused thinking from day one, Arctic Grey is a strong contender.

5. Metacake—Shopify Developers Who Focus on Revenue First

Headquarters: Franklin, TN Founded: 2012 Client Example: Groove Life, Fitbit, Tony Robbins

Metacake is more than a Shopify development agency—they’re revenue engineers. Every build is approached with a singular question: How will this make the client more money?

Why They Stand Out:

Full-Funnel Strategy: Site design, email automation, landing pages, and paid ads all under one roof.

Ecom Mentorship: They teach clients the why, not just the how.

Revenue Benchmarks: They track AOV, LTV, and ROAS—every Shopify decision is tied to a metric.

Client Win: Groove Life scaled from $5M to $40M+ in annual sales, with Shopify at the center, developed and optimized by Metacake.

How to Choose the Right Shopify Development Company for You

Even among the elite, fit matters more than fame. Here’s how to choose a partner who’ll deliver—not just a website, but real results.

Key Questions to Ask Before Hiring:

What’s your process for increasing conversions?

How do you approach mobile optimization and page speed?

Can I see examples of Shopify builds in my industry?

What ongoing support do you offer after launch?

How do you measure success for your clients?

Green Flags:

Strategic consultation before quoting

Proof of real results, not just pretty mockups

Transparent pricing and timelines

Direct access to developers and designers

Real Talk: Can’t I Just Use a Pre-Made Theme?

You can—and for some early-stage businesses, that might be enough. But here’s the thing:

Pre-made themes often lack custom UX elements proven to increase conversions.

They usually load slower due to unnecessary code.

You may struggle with brand differentiation if 500 other stores use the same layout.

Hiring a top Shopify development team isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about building a growth engine tailored to your business.

Final Verdict: So, Are These Really the Best?

Yes—and no.

Yes, because each of these Shopify development companies has a proven record of excellence, a portfolio of successful builds, and clients who sing their praises.

But no, because the “best” agency is the one that understands your business, your goals, and your customers. That might be a big-name firm—or a boutique studio that just gets you.

The bottom line? The companies on this list aren’t just developers. They’re Shopify strategists, revenue consultants, and growth enablers.

And that’s what makes them the best—not just on paper, but in practice.

Dedicated and passionate elementary school teacher with over 5 years of experience designing innovative lesson plans, improving student literacy by 35%, and fostering inclusive classrooms. Certified in K–6 education and bilingual instruction.

Make sure your summary is tailored to the role and includes terms found in the job description.

3. Choose the Right Format for Your Teaching Resume

There are three main types of resume formats:

Chronological (best for those with consistent teaching experience)

Functional (ideal for career changers or those with gaps)

Combination (a hybrid format for showing both skills and work history)

For most educators, the chronological format is recommended, as it highlights progression and stability in the education field.

4. Highlight Key Sections and What to Include

A. Contact Information

Simple but essential. Include:

Full Name

Professional Email

Phone Number

LinkedIn profile (if updated)

Optional: Personal teaching website or portfolio

B. Resume Summary

As discussed above—keep it crisp and tailored.

C. Work Experience

List your experience in reverse chronological order. For each role, include:

Job Title

Institution Name

Dates of Employment

3–5 bullet points highlighting accomplishments

Example Bullets:

Designed and implemented differentiated instruction strategies for 30+ students, resulting in a 20% increase in engagement.

Led a school-wide literacy initiative that improved average reading scores by 15%.

D. Education

Degree(s) earned

Institution(s)

Graduation year(s)

Relevant coursework (if you're a new grad)

E. Certifications & Licenses

Include any relevant teaching licenses or certifications:

State Teaching License

TESOL, TEFL, or ESL Certification

CPR or First Aid (if relevant for younger students)

F. Skills

Use a mix of hard and soft skills:

Classroom Management

Lesson Planning

Google Classroom / EdTech Tools

Conflict Resolution

Parent-Teacher Communication

5. Use Action Verbs and Quantifiable Achievements

Stand out by using action verbs and measurable results. Instead of saying:

❌ "Responsible for managing classrooms." Say: ✅ "Managed classrooms of up to 28 students, reducing behavioral incidents by 40% through proactive engagement."

This small shift makes your resume more compelling and evidence-based.

6. Tailor Every Resume for the Job You’re Applying For

Yes, it takes a bit more time—but tailoring your resume to each job description can significantly increase your chances of landing an interview.

Mirror keywords used in the job listing.

Align your achievements with the school’s mission or educational philosophy.

Use teacher resume examples from real job ads to model your structure and wording.

7. Optimize Your Resume for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems)

Most schools use Applicant Tracking Systems to scan resumes before a human ever sees them. Here’s how to beat the bots:

Use standard headings: Experience, Education, Skills

Avoid fancy graphics or columns

Use teacher resume examples that are ATS-friendly

Save as a Word doc or PDF, depending on the application guidelines

8. Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Spelling and grammatical errors ❌ Using vague statements without results ❌ Listing duties instead of accomplishments ❌ Overloading with irrelevant information ❌ Neglecting soft skills or certifications

A polished resume reflects your professionalism. Always proofread and, if possible, have a peer or mentor review it.

9. Use Proven Teacher Resume Examples for Inspiration

Don’t start from scratch—leverage proven teacher resume examples that have helped real educators land jobs. Look for templates that include:

Modern, clean layouts

Built-in keyword suggestions

Example summaries and bullet points

ATS compatibility

Platforms like Indeed, Zety, or Canva offer excellent starter templates. But remember: always customize them to reflect your unique skills and experience.

Conclusion: Ready to Get Hired? Your Resume Is the First Step

A teaching job isn't just about qualifications—it's about how effectively you present yourself on paper. With the right formatting, keywords, structure, and inspiration from top teacher resume examples, you can write a resume that doesn’t just get noticed—it gets interviews.

Firoze Kohli on Building High-Impact Digital Campaigns

In a saturated digital marketplace where consumers are exposed to thousands of messages daily, capturing attention — and sustaining it — requires more than just creative flair. It demands strategy, precision, and adaptability. Few understand this better than Firoze Kohli, a seasoned marketing strategist and digital visionary known for building campaigns that not only go viral — but also deliver tangible, lasting business results.

In this feature, Firoze Kohli shares his approach to crafting high-impact digital campaigns, revealing the building blocks behind some of his most successful brand transformations.

Start with Purpose, Not Platforms

According to Firoze Kohli, one of the biggest mistakes marketers make is jumping straight into execution without clarity of purpose. “You don’t start with Instagram or YouTube. You start with ‘Why are we doing this?’ and ‘What problem are we solving?’” he explains.

For Kohli, every successful digital campaign begins with a strong strategic foundation — understanding the brand’s voice, defining the audience personas, and setting campaign goals tied directly to business outcomes (not just likes or clicks).

Audience Insights Drive Everything

“Data is your best creative partner,” says Firoze Kohli. He believes high-impact campaigns are born from a deep understanding of audience behavior, motivations, and media consumption habits.

Using advanced tools for social listening, analytics, and A/B testing, Kohli and his teams build detailed customer journey maps that reveal when, where, and how to reach target audiences effectively. This data is then used to tailor content — from ad copy to video storytelling — that speaks directly to real needs and emotions.

“Your message should feel like it was written just for them — because it was,” he adds.

Creativity Meets Performance

While strategy and data are crucial, Firoze Kohli is quick to emphasize that creativity remains the soul of a campaign. “We’re not just selling products, we’re selling emotions, aspirations, identities,” he says.

Kohli advocates for a performance-driven creative approach, blending storytelling with formats that are proven to convert — such as short-form videos, motion graphics, interactive ads, and influencer collaborations. But every piece of content, he notes, must serve a purpose: build awareness, drive engagement, or lead to a conversion.

A recent campaign he led combined user-generated content with influencer storytelling and saw a 5x increase in user engagement and a 28% lift in online sales.

Full-Funnel Execution

Firoze Kohli insists that digital campaigns must be full-funnel — meaning they guide users from awareness to action to advocacy. “You can’t just go viral and expect sales,” he says. “There needs to be a journey.”

This includes:

Top-of-Funnel (Awareness): Captivating visuals, brand storytelling, influencer activations

Mid-Funnel (Consideration): Retargeting ads, social proof, educational content

Bottom-Funnel (Conversion): Strong CTAs, limited-time offers, landing page optimization

Post-Purchase (Loyalty): Email nurturing, exclusive content, community engagement

Kohli’s campaigns are designed to nurture users across this entire spectrum, ensuring that no engagement is wasted.

Agility and Real-Time Optimization

“In digital, speed is a strategy,” says Firoze Kohli. He believes in constant testing and iteration — never setting a campaign on autopilot. With real-time analytics and feedback loops, Kohli adjusts creative elements, targeting, and budget allocation weekly, sometimes even daily.

He explains: “Your audience is telling you what works — every impression, every click is a conversation. You just need to listen.”

This agile mindset has helped his campaigns stay relevant in fast-changing environments and deliver ROI that outperforms industry benchmarks.

Measure What Matters

While vanity metrics can be tempting, Firoze Kohli is laser-focused on metrics that align with actual business value: customer acquisition cost (CAC), return on ad spend (ROAS), engagement quality, and conversion rate.

By tying campaign performance directly to sales and brand lift, Kohli ensures that every dollar spent is not just accounted for, but optimized for maximum return.

Final Thoughts: Impact Is Intentional

For Firoze Kohli, building high-impact digital campaigns isn’t about luck — it’s about discipline, creativity, and a relentless focus on the customer journey. His work is a testament to the power of integrating strategy with emotion, technology with creativity, and ambition with accountability.

As digital landscapes evolve, Kohli continues to set the bar for what impactful marketing looks like in the modern era — measurable, memorable, and meaningful.

The share of Democrats who want their party to take a more moderate approach has risen significantly—11 percentage points—since President Joe Biden took office in 2021, according to a new Gallup poll conducted just days after President Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Why It Matters

Democrats suffered losses across the board in the 2024 election, losing the presidency and the Senate while failing to flip the House.

The party's setback has led it into a period of reflection, working to redefine itself, assess the reasoning for its losses and identify its base and messaging, which did not resonate as strongly as expected. Many members feel disconnected and betrayed by the party, which failed to secure the necessary seats.

Earlier this month, Ken Martin was elected to lead the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

Newsweek has reached out to the DNC for comment via email on Thursday.

What To Know

A Gallup poll released Thursday found that preferences within both the Democratic and Republican parties have shifted significantly—as has the political climate—since 2021 when the pollster last conducted a similar survey.

The poll of 1,001 adults nationwide, conducted January 21 to January 27—just days after Trump returned to office—found that more Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents want the party to move toward moderation rather than becoming more liberal or staying the same.

It found that 45 percent of Democratic respondents wanted the party to become "more moderate," compared to 34 percent in 2021. The poll also found that Democrats are less satisfied with the state of party politics, with 22 percent wanting the party to stay the same, down from 31 percent in 2021.

Meanwhile, 29 percent of participants want the party to become more liberal, compared to 34 percent in 2021.

The breakdown of the vote percentage shows that 50 percent of nonwhite participants support the party becoming more moderate, compared to 42 percent of white participants. The shift also trends higher among higher-income earners.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

On the other hand, Republicans appear more satisfied with the state of their party now than they did back in 2021, which was notably on the heels of Trump's electoral loss to Democratic President Joe Biden, with 43 percent indicating they want the party to stay the same, compared to 34 percent in 2021. Nearly half of women polled want the party to stay the same, 49 percent, compared to 39 percent of men.

A similar share of participants want the party to shift right as to the left, with 28 percent supporting a more conservative direction and 27 percent favoring a move toward moderation.

Trump has held onto positive approval ratings since taking office better than his first term.

What People Are Saying

Democratic strategist Doug Gordon, co-founder of UpShift Strategies, previously told Newsweek: "In this moment, the actions Democrats take will speak much louder than the actual words they use. The status quo of sternly worded letters and Capitol Hill press conferences is not going to cut it. You can't bring a knife to a gunfight."

David B. Cohen, a professor of political science at the University of Akron, previously told Newsweek: "The Democratic Party seems to be waking up from the slumber it has been in since the 2024 election...Americans who did not vote for Donald Trump or Elon Musk or support their dismantling of the federal government have grown increasingly frustrated and panicked over the lackluster effort to oppose him. They want Democrats to do something—anything—to oppose the Trump agenda."

What Happens Next

The 2026 midterms are expected to serve as a referendum on the Republican Party's leadership and a test of the Democratic Party's strength.

1. Understand the Syllabus

Each section of MAT tests specific skills:

Language Comprehension: Focus on reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, sentence correction, and para jumbles.

Mathematical Skills: Cover arithmetic (percentages, profit and loss, time-speed-distance), algebra, geometry, number systems, and modern math (probability, permutations).

Data Analysis & Sufficiency: Practice interpreting data from tables, charts, and graphs, and solving data sufficiency problems.

Intelligence & Critical Reasoning: Work on puzzles, coding-decoding, analogies, series, and critical reasoning questions to enhance your logical thinking.

Indian & Global Environment: Stay updated on current affairs, business news, and general knowledge topics like history, geography, and politics.

2. Build a Structured Study Plan

Dedicate 4–6 hours daily to MAT preparation, ensuring balanced coverage of all sections:

Morning (2 hours): Mathematical Skills—solve problems on arithmetic, algebra, and geometry to strengthen your numerical abilities.

Afternoon (2 hours): Language Comprehension—read editorials from newspapers like The Hindu or The Indian Express, practice comprehension passages, and work on grammar and vocabulary exercises.

Evening (1 hour): Intelligence & Critical Reasoning—solve puzzles, logical reasoning sets, and critical reasoning questions to sharpen your analytical thinking.

Night (1 hour): Data Analysis & Sufficiency—practice interpreting data from charts and graphs, and solve data sufficiency problems.

Daily (30 minutes): Indian & Global Environment—read newspapers, business magazines, and online resources to stay updated on current affairs.

Weekly Goals: Take a full-length mock test every weekend and thoroughly analyze your performance to identify areas for improvement.

3. Practice with Mock Tests in Your Chosen Mode

Since MAT offers PBT, CBT, and IBT modes, practice mock tests in the mode you’ve chosen to familiarize yourself with the format. For example:

PBT: Practice with paper-based mock tests to get comfortable with marking answers on an OMR sheet.

5. Stay Updated on Current Affairs

The Indian & Global Environment section requires knowledge of current affairs and general awareness. Dedicate 30 minutes daily to reading newspapers like The Hindu or The Indian Express, and business magazines like Business Today or Business Standard. Focus on topics such as:

National and international news

Business and economic developments

Awards, sports, and government policies

History, geography, and static GK While this section doesn’t contribute to the composite score, a good performance can give you an edge during the admission process at some institutes.

6. Leverage Quality Study Resources

Use books like “Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations” by R.S. Aggarwal for Mathematical Skills, “Word Power Made Easy” by Norman Lewis for Language Comprehension, and “A Modern Approach to Logical Reasoning” by R.S. Aggarwal for Intelligence & Critical Reasoning. Online platforms like IMS, Career Launcher, and Hitbullseye offer MAT-specific mock tests and study materials to enhance your preparation.

Managing stress effectively will help you approach the exam with confidence.
